Schaller was aggressive offensively throughout the game. He won several 1-on-1 puck battles and landed six shots on goal to lead the B’s.

RESILIENT THIRD PERIOD
The Bruins erased 2-1 and 3-2 deficits in the third period. David Backes scored at 5:49 of the frame, and then Jay McClement gave Carolina a 3-2 edge at 7:20, which was answered by Brad Marchand 23 seconds later to tie the score 3-3.

IMPORTANT POINT
Back-to-backs are tough, and the Bruins picked up a much-needed point with the overtime loss. Despite playing Saturday night in Florida, the B’s had pretty good energy throughout Sunday’s contest. They outshot (35-30) and outhit (26-12) the Hurricanes and had more puck possession.

B’s center Patrice Bergeron had an excellent scoring chance in overtime but couldn’t elevate the puck over Ward’s right pad.
